Twitter 201- How to use Twitter for fundraising, public relations and and branding
 

Creating a Twitter account is only the first step in creating a strong brand presence on Twitter. The next step is to customize your Twitter page so that it becomes instantly recognizable to your supporters. With all of the tools that Twitter offers it is now even easier to communicate your message, track, analyze, and determine the next phase of your organization’s outreach strategy.

In this session we will cover the following:
•       Customizing your Twitter account profile (images, information, background image, etc.)
•       How to tweet with the proper Twitter lingo (#, DM, @, RT)
•       Utilizing measurement tools so your organization can track, monitor, test, adjust, and plan its Tweets accordingly
•       Getting your network to retweet your messages
•       Using Twitter applications for keyword optimization and website integration

Participants will walk away with advanced tools to use Twitter more effectively.

This session is intended for Executive Directors, Senior Staff and Communication Managers.
